Job grading and wages

Job grading is a way of saying how important different jobs are for management. Job grading is a way of comparing different jobs, and saying that some jobs are very important, and other jobs are not so important. Most job grading systems say that managers and engineers are very important, and that labourers and operators are not important. Wages are paid according to the workers’ grade in the job grading system. A worker with an important job will earn higher wages that a worker with a job that is not so important
